People engage in philanthropic activities to help society in any way they could. There is no limit to the amount of money one can donate to such causes. However, when one makes a big donation such as $ 18 billion dollars to a single foundation, it raises eye-browse from the community. This is what happened when George Soros donated $18 billion to Open Society Foundation. The contributions ranked among the largest contribution in the world. Many people were more occupied with talking about the conspiracy behind George Soros than on the contribution he made. Many people even ignored the donation to concentrate on George Soros’ controversial life.

An article published in the Atlantic.com described George Soros as a busy man from the perspective of the right wing theorists. George Soros has funded various causes on his own without the help of other entities. The article titled “George Soros and the Demonization of Philanthropy” discusses how the conspiracy theories about George Soros hinder people from seeing his good side. Some of the causes that Soros funded single-handedly include the Antifa and Black Lives Matter movements. He also bankrolled the famous white-nationalist rally held at Charlottesville. These movements and protest are supported and hated in equal measure by the American population.

Soros is also accused of being the mastermind of the Colin Kaepernick’s women’s March and NFL protests and pulling strings to have McMaster sack all workers aligned to the right wing.
George Soros was also accused of funding women to accuse Roy Moore, the former Alabama Senate candidate for assaulting them sexually. The article shows how the public has paid much attention to the life of George Soros ever since he made $1 billion in 1992 when he shorts the British pound. Such moves require strong financial and economic knowledge hence the great interest on Soros from the financial markets. George Soros also made headlines when he declared that he is ready to lose all his fortunes if that the only way he could prevent president George Bush from winning his second and last term in the office. George Soros spent only $ 27 million during that campaign period. Soros political giving or financial buccaneering is not the main topics where George Soros is trending. Philanthropy leads the way in the debates and controversies about George Soros.

Many of his antagonists seem to be afraid of Soros’ increasing contributions to the pro-democratic causes. In the United States, Soros has become the leading single donor and has single-handedly made Open Society foundation the second largest charity organization. His antagonists now refer to the Open Society Foundation as the “Death Star”. What is obvious is that George Soros recent efforts on pro-democratic activities are his way of trying to salvage his image among the members of the public. He was among the founders of the Democratic Party, which he hoped would champion for enhanced democracy in America. The party would also form the mechanism through which he would make people understand his political perspectives.
